Commonwealth Computer Recycling adds to business development team

Commonwealth Computer Recycling LLC (CCR), Greensburg, Pennsylvania, has announced Mary Ann Schmidt has joined its business development team beginning January 2016. Schmidt will extend CCR’s geographic reach to central Pennsylvania, where she has built a reputable client base over the last 10 years, according to the company.

Schmidt previously owned and operated a computer repair and e-scrap collection business based in Seward, Pennsylvania.

“Mary has been in the electronics recycling business for several years. CCR is excited to bring her e-waste knowledge under the CCR umbrella as we believe the e-waste industry will see consolidation through 2017,” says Serdar Bankaci, CCR CEO and founder.

Low commodity prices put a damper on industry pricing in 2015, a trend expected to continue in 2016. Founded in 2012, CCR operates a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection-permitted and R2 (Responsible Recycling Practices) certified recycling facility, and in 2014 the company opened a transfer station in Aston, Pennsylvania, in partnership with Elwyn Industries.

"Our two strategic locations allow us to service businesses from northern New Jersey through Baltimore and from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh," says Serdar Bankaci.

CCR has made a name for itself over the last several years, growing from a small warehouse into today’s multisite recycling operation servicing the entire mid-Atlantic region.

"Mary had several choices on next steps for her business career, and we are both honored and excited that she chose to go with CCR. We look forward to building the CCR brand in Central Pennsylvania to become the best ITAD (information technology asset disposition) and e-waste recycling provider by 2018," says Bankaci.

CCR is an IT asset disposal and data destruction service provider based in Pennsylvania servicing the mid-Atlantic region. CCR says its customer base includes the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, large enterprise firms, small and midsized businesses and nonprofit organizations. CCR is certified to the R2 Standard and is a National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) member.
